Abstract excerpt
p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase is activated during ischemic/hypoxic myocardial injury. However, the role of activated p38 MAP kinase on cardiac function after myocardial injury is not well understood. In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of p38 MAP kinase inhibition in a rat model of acute myocardial injury, induced by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO, 20...
